Answer
Hazard lights do not mean you can park where you want... They are used to convey the fact that you are broke down and a hazard.

As to the fee difference, in California price depends on how far along the tow truck is in doing the hook up.. Also the police department usually has rates for services and I would image that they called for the tow...

As to legal, I bet it is, after all you said you were in a no parking street and you had parked.
